A.J. Daulerio Out as Gawker Editor in Chief

Always colorful, he grew traffic and brought an investigative focus to the blog

After just a little over a year as Gawker’s front man, A.J. Daulerio announced to staff and via email that his tenure at the popular blog has come to an end.

There are conflicting reports as to the nature of Daulerio’s departure from Gawker Media, where he has presided over both Deadspin, the network’s sports site, and the flagship property Gawker as editor in chief. 

In a memo to staff obtained by the New York Observer, Daulerio calls the decision “the right move for the site in 2013.”
